      Let’s get some recs going. Here are mine:

      The Succubus by Vlado Zabot
      Necropolis by Boris Pahor
      Alias At The Fire by Jon Fosse
      Jerusalem by Goncalo M Tavares

      Time to flesh out my Toussaint and Elkin library, I suppose.

      Dammit.

      Which Toussaint would you all recommend? I have room on my cart for one.

      I like Television by Toussaint. Other recs: Living End by Elkin, Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things by Sorrentino, Doting by Henry Green, Requiem by Curtis White, A Night at the Movies by Robert Coover, Pashion Artist by John Hawkes, Nightwork by Christine Schutt,  Sound on Sound by Christopher Sorrentino. So many good ones…

      Can anyone recommend an Ishmael Reed book?

      News from the Empire by Fernando del Paso

      The new one is cool, but it might be too new to be allowed with the sale.
